Master with the Guild Of Photographers
 |
What a wonderful note to arrive in my mailbox this morning, inviting me to accept the title of ‘Master’ with the Guild of Photographers in the UK. Steve Thirsk, Director of the Guild of Photographers, informed me that I will be only the third person offered the title .. and the first ‘across the pond’. It is indeed a huge honour to be accorded such an accolade, and be keeping such esteemed company! |

Congratulations Neil! I agree with the other posters who said that your readers already knew you were a master. The other organizations are too slow! :-)
However, it is a very good thing when your professional peers recognize your abilities.
